There Is A Level Of Commitment And Genuine Expertise At Able&Co. That You’d Be Hard Pressed To Find Anywhere Else.

While we come from diverse backgrounds, we all bring relevant skills and experience to the table — from managing thousands of SKUs for a large, global brand to merchandising, print production, strategic positioning and planning and much more. Picture an ensemble of committed individuals, with decades of collective brand-building experience, all fired up to produce meaningful work and tell authentic stories. That’s Able&Co.

Strategy. Concept. Creation. Execution.

DISCOVER THE PROCESS BEHIND THE ABLE&CO. VISION – CREATIVITY.

It’s all about fluidity and connectivity. As we follow a clearly defined process, one kernel leads to another, and another, until something inspired takes shape. Our process is divided into four key phases, each naturally leading to the next. At each phase, we gut check the work with our clients to ensure that it is meeting their overall marketing objectives. The goal, ultimately, is to emerge with an insightful campaign that gives clients the best opportunity for success.

We start by identifying key messages as they relate to the client’s stated objectives. We want to know everything: who the targets or stakeholders are, what the competition is doing (or not doing) and what’s working in the marketplace. Our questioning, investigating and discovery from every possible angle leads to the framework of a potentially viable direction to follow. From there, we may put together a creative brief, draft a set of marketing blueprints for a campaign, isolate calls to action and assemble an overall plan of action. As in all phases of our process, we get initial client buy-in before launching into the concept phase.

Here, we’re after the “Smart Idea.” Okay, Okay, we admit it’s a bit blunt. But for us, a smart idea is a fitting description of what emerges from this phase of our process. We begin with thorough brainstorming—looking at a problem backward and forward, turning it on its head and steering clear of convention. We bring as many ideas to the table as we can and allow the alchemy and magic of thoughtful concepting to take hold. As mental connections and natural associations begin to form into solid ideas, we go through a refinement process in which we ask: Is it feasible? Will it resonate? Does it work in the right channels? The result is one very smart idea.

Now it’s time for the writers to write and the designers to design! Like making a movie, everyone brings a different discipline to the process and works together to move an idea forward. Essentially, what we’re doing in this phase is creating a standard to work from, so that we can design a color palette, develop a copy voice and tone and achieve a distinctive visual style. Refinement during the creation phase means spot checking to ensure a concept is road ready. Will it work across all necessary media? Does it have legs? Can we implement it? Onward we go, to execution.

Now, we develop the actual meat and potatoes of a campaign: web banners, print ads, videos, a website or series of e-blasts. If the strategy is on target, if the idea is big and smart, if we can prove that the concept works, then we’re ready to execute and implement. Our process also includes multistep proofing led by our lead proofreader, who also happens to have a law degree. Following that, we move to distribution (e.g., press checks, media management). And lastly, we circle back to analyze metrics and performance to see how effective the campaign was so that we can continue to drive results for our client.
